About MachOne Technologies
MachOne Technologies SA was founded in 2022 in Switzerland and develops, manufactures and tests high-speed turbomachinery as well as cryogenic cooling systems. The core product is the Cryochiller, a cryogenic liquefaction unit with a closed nitrogen circuit that reaches temperatures down to -165 °C. The core components – high-speed permanent-magnet electric motors rated 130–150 kW and up to 35,000 rpm, radial compressors and turboexpanders with enclosed, machined stainless steel pressure housings – are produced in-house at the Swiss headquarters in Mezzovico. At the Italian site in Pieve Albignola, the Cryochillers are manufactured, assembled and tested at full load on a large-scale test bench. Areas of application include biomethane liquefaction (bio-LNG and bio-CO2), micro-scale liquefaction of natural gas for virtual pipeline applications, and flare gas liquefaction, also suitable for wet gas. The company serves the biogas/RNG upgrading, energy, natural gas and oil & gas industries as well as industrial cryogenics for liquefaction, separation, storage and freezing. The development of the Cryochiller technology involved more than two years of research and testing.
